HD Install :: grub error
hi everyone
i have been trying to get dsl installed to my hd
it installs ok but the problem is that grub won't work off of hdb and i can't put it on hda because there is no hda and moving them around is not a option
the computer is a dual booting system with xp (which im using now)
so my question is
is there anyway to run grub off of hdb with no hda and can i just boot off a floopy to get to my installed DSL
thanks
It is possible to boot from floppy.
For a frugal install, create a boot floppy disk and boot with:
dsl frugal
For a full hd install, make sure that lilo or grub is installed to the linux partition (install to the MBR not needed) and then create a boot floppy with the SMART BOOT MANAGER program and use it to boot up DSL.
its ok i found another way around it
im just using grub for dos and booting off a 50 mb fat32 partition
thanks anyway
If you are using "grub", then add the word
frugal
to your append statement and rerun grub
